  • An Overview of World-Class Gold Districts in Canada's Newest
    JULY 2002 Issue 74 An Overview of World-Class Gold Districts in Canada’s Newest Territory – Nunavut Rob Carpenter Indian and Northern Affairs Canada PO Box 100, Iqaluit, Nunavut, X0A 0H0 Email [email protected] Introduction The Lupin Mine is currently Nunavut’s sole gold producer and has poured over 3 million ounces of bullion since production began in 1982 (Fig. 1). However, recent gold exploration activities across Nunavut have resulted in several significant discov- eries which are at, or approaching, feasibil- ity. This renewed interest in gold explora- tion in Canada’s north is largely due to the availability of extensive, under-explored land parcels that are capable of hosting near-surface and high-grade gold deposits. Acquiring these large land parcels also im- proves the overall effectiveness of explora- tion and increases the chance of discover- ing much sought after gold “districts”, such as the well known Timmins and Kirkland Lake gold districts of the Archean Superior Province. Emerging gold districts in Nunavut in- clude: the Hope Bay Project, located in the northern part of the Archean Slave Prov- ince; the Meadowbank Project, and; the Meliadine Project, both located in the Ar- chean Western Churchill Province (Fig. 1). These districts contain a total gold resource ,QVLGH WKLV LVVXH Fig. 1 – Generalized geology map of Nunavut showing the location of the producing President’s Message 3 Lupin Mine and the Hope Bay, Meadowbank, and Meliadine gold districts as well as other advanced gold exploration projects in the Archean Slave and Western Churchill Duncan Derry Medallist 11 Provinces (after Wheeler et al., 1997).

    GEOPHYSICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE NORTHEAST THELON BASIN GEOPHYSICAL AND GEOLOGICAL INTEGRATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE NORTHEAST THELON BASIN, NUNAVUT By VICTORIA LYNN TSCHIRHART, B.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright for Victoria Tschirhart, November 2013 i McMaster University DOCTORATE OF PHILOSPHY (2013) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Geophysical and geological integration and interpretation of the northeast Thelon Basin, Nunavut AUTHOR: Victoria Lynn Tschirhart, B.Sc. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. William A. Morris NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 196 ii Abstract The northeast Thelon Basin, Nunavut, is a rapidly developing albeit poorly studied, frontier exploration domain for unconformity-associated uranium deposits. Critical criteria for unconformity –associated uranium deposit models are knowledge of the basement geology, fault history and depth to unconformity surface. This thesis sets forth to derive working geological and geophysical models for the northeast Thelon Basin through the implementation of integrated geophysical techniques. A physical rock property database is compiled defining average density and susceptibility values for key map units for integration into subsequent modelling iterations. Forward and inverse potential field modelling using these petrophysical with geological controls define the structure and geometry of the Shultz Lake intrusive complex and northeast Amer Belt, both of which are present below the Thelon sedimentary cover. Implementation of a new source edge detection technique estimates fault development and location within the basin. This provides a quantitative analysis of fault timing, identifying potentially reactivated faults which have an increased likelihood to serve as conduits to transport uranium-rich fluids and focus deposition.

(date ) AESTRACT This study is concerned with the persistence of human life on the edge of the Canadian Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan make up the largest distinct linguistic and cultural group and are the most easterly among the Northern Athapaskan Indians, or Dene. Over many centuries, the Chipewyan have maintained a form of social life as an edge-of-the-forest people and people of the Barren Grounds to the west of Hudson Bay. The particular aim of this thesis is to attempt, through a survey of the ecological and historical 1iterature , to elucidate something of the traditional adaptive pattern of the Chipewyan in their explcitation of the subarc tic envirorient . Given the fragmentary nature of much of the historical evidence, our limited understanding of the subarctic environment, and the fact that the Chipewyan oecumene (way of looking at life) is largely denied to the modern observer, we acknowledge that this exercise in ecological and historical reconstruction is governed by serious hazards and limitations.

Hard Cash Project Summary Canarc Resource Corp. ( Canarc ) is a Vancouver based gold exploration company with a number of projects in Nevada and British Columbia as well as the Hard Cash and Nigel properties in Nunavut. The Hard Cash property, consisting of Claims RLN 3-4 (K14329-30) covering 2,090 hectares on Crown Land, is located in the Ennadai Greenstone Belt in SW Nunavut on the shores of Ennadai Lake. The property is 405 km from Arviat, Nunavut, 310 km NE of Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan and is accessible by float plane or helicopter. There is an all-weather gravel airstrip at Ennadai Lake Lodge which is owned by Arctic Haven, 22 kms southwest of the property. Mineralization on the property was previously discovered by Don Cameron in 1946 at the Swamp Showing. The showing was staked and 9 shallow holes were drilled and several blast trenches excavated at the northern end of the Swamp Showing near Ennadai Lake. Giant Yellowknife Mines acquired the property in 1981 and took a claim to lease. Phelps Dodge optioned the lease and staked the surrounding area in 1995 and conducted surface exploration from 1995 to 1997. The claims were allowed to lapse and were re-staked by Panarc Resources in January 2011. In 2012, Panarc conducted prospecting and geological mapping focused on the Swamp Showing. The claims were subsequently sold to Silver Range Resources Ltd.
